The Harvard Premedical Society is just one of the multiple organizations the school has for pre-med students, and it gives students the chance to shadow real-world doctors and even the opportunity to volunteer at hospitals.

Johns Hopkins, which does have a premedical program, has its students follow a four-year track where students gain ample knowledge and experience. Best known for its nursing school, the University of Pennsylvania holds a seminar for underrepresented minority students, allowing them to be mentored by members of the medical community.

Located in New York City, Columbia University boasts the country's oldest premedical program for graduate students. Their medical school has an enrollment of about 4,000 students, and prospective students get plenty of hands-on experience. Cornell University, located in upstate New York, gives its students the chance to work at New York Presbyterian hospitals. Cornell also sees about 45 percent of its students gain entrance into medical schools.
